I just got an iphone for my girlfriend last night, and have restored and reinstalled the custom FW for 2.0 on her phone several times. Each time that I try to install something from cydia that suppose to have an icon for it, the icon never shows after the install. However, if I install something like a slider, carrier mod, keypad image, something that dosent have an icon it works. Cydia on my iphone works fine and I installed it from the same PC, any suggestion?

I read this but it is not a lot of help: http://sleepers.net/news/tag/cydia-icons-not-appear/


Apple iTunes Store Bug Workaround
Author: BigBoss // Category: Apps, Repository

There appears to be a major bug in Appstore / iTunes which is a service that is constantly running on the iPhone.I have had many issues with just using AppStore with a lot of apps installed. It takes often 10 or more minutes to try to install. It fails over and over and has to keep retrying. If I log the events using “top”, I can see the iTunesStore binary running with most the CPU in the system and a crash report process constantly coming up. Often times, the phone reboots and takes forever to restart. It seems that deleting some apps helps this work better. I will be looking into this more.

This also seems to affect Cydia and probably will affect Installer 4. Sometimes you install something and find no icon. From what I can see, the above issue occurs during this state. When you install something even from Cydia, the iTunesStore app is again using all the CPU, the phone is running slow, there is a spinner next to the carrier icon, and no icon shows up. If this happens to you, try these steps to resolve it:

1) Uninstall the item(s) that are not showing up in Cydia
2) Reboot the phone
3) Reinstall them in Cydia

K this is how u fix cydia! U installed soemthing but it wont work, u restart it u shut it off but no luck! This is what you do!

Create an itunes account by opening itunes this account is the same one used to download games in the app store. Go download any game, suggestion search the keyword free to get all the free games.
